Had a Heathkit Boonie bike.

I still have this 70 Rupp Roadster being ridden by my brother in this pic in approximately 1974

My daughter on her 84 Suzuki 50 3-wheeler. She is just sitting on it, I'm working on getting this ready for the spring for her

I have 3 50cc broncco minicycle 1a street bike and a dirt bike like i had when i was 13 i would post a picture but i don't know how

Here's a pic of me in approximately 1975? With my Honda CL 70, I had removed the lights and steel fenders to make it more of a dirt bike. My younger brothers XR75 can be seen in the background.

That is a great pic! I would definitely make a poster of it and put it in man cave!!

heres my rupp roadster 2. I collect all kinds of small motorcycles. cant get enough of them.

Man.....is this a new mini section of MCACN coming up??:hmmm: Get it? Mini? Bike? Yeah...I know. But as the newest member of the MCACN staff, I say why not? It's just more work to do:haha: Now I guess i'm on the hunt for one. Those are pretty dang cool!

Cheers:beers:

I'm sure a lot folks here were all about minibikes prior to getting into cars. I know I was. Collecting them, just another piece of the middle age puzzle, lol. I remember my older brothers friends dumping minibikes off at my house as soon as they could/drive build musclecars. A lot of them were Stellars, which were made here on Long Island, and command big $$ these days if you can find them.

Love this thread! Those pics Wheelhop posted take me back to just about any summer weekend in the '70s. Around here, we had countless suburban developments that needed to be torn up, trailed, and just plain violated. We'd get kicked out eventually and move to the next. There was an operating rock quarry near us that had some pretty intense hill climbs that our smaller bikes couldn't crest on their own. We sat at the bottom and watched the big boys run their Yamaha ATs, DTs, and 360s, Honda elsinores and huskys. Some would make it, but we'd sit at the bottom, eat our humble pie and dream of the days we'd graduate to anything above 125cc. No helmets, no gloves, just sunrise to sunset fun. Dad drug a Moss Cart up from Torrance with us and he drug a dirt track in the cow field for us to rip around on. That kart was given away but I stumbled on another at the local swap meet around 10 years ago, still waiting resto......
